Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] drm: use dyndbg in drm_print

Message-ID: <20210714175138.319514-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com> (raw)

hi dri-devel,

Im pretty new in this particular playground.
Im using this to send, is it too spammy ? too --to ?
   git send-email --dry-run \
   --to-cmd='scripts/get_maintainer.pl --no-rolestats v3-000*.patch' \
   --to=jbaron@akamai.com v3-000*.patch

drm_debug_enabled() is called a lot (by drm_dev_dbg) to do unlikely
bit-tests to selectively enable debug printing; this is a good job for
dynamic-debug, IFF it is built with JUMP_LABEL.

This patchset enables the use of dynamic-debug to avoid those
drm_debug_enabled() overheads, if CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y.

v3: fixes missed SOB, && on BOL, commit-log tweaks
    reordered patches, 1 is comment, 2 is whitespace.
    dropped RFC, to see what happens.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210711055003.528167-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201204035318.332419-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com/

Doing so creates many new pr_debug callsites,
otherwise i915 has ~120 prdbgs, and drm has just 1;

  bash-5.1# modprobe i915
  dyndbg:   8 debug prints in module video
  dyndbg: 305 debug prints in module drm
  dyndbg: 207 debug prints in module drm_kms_helper
  dyndbg:   2 debug prints in module ttm
  dyndbg: 1720 debug prints in module i915

On amdgpu, enabling it adds ~3200 prdbgs, currently at 56 bytes each.
So CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y affects resource requirements.

Im running this patchset bare-metal on an i915 laptop & an amdgpu
desktop (both as loadable modules).  I booted the amdgpu box with:

BOOT_IMAGE=(hd2,gpt2)/vmlinuz-5.13.0-dd7-13692-g8def25788f56 \
     root=UUID=mumble ro \
     rootflags=subvol=root00 rhgb \
     dynamic_debug.verbose=3 main.dyndbg=+p \
     amdgpu.debug=1 amdgpu.test=1 \
     "amdgpu.dyndbg=format ^[ +p"

That last line enables ~1700 prdbg callsites with a format like '[DML'
etc at boot, and amdgpu.test=1 triggers 3 minutes of tests, causing
~76k prdbgs in 409 seconds, before I turned them off with:

  echo module amdgpu -p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control

This is on top of master @ v5.14-rc1
Should I rebase onto something else ?

Jim Cromie (5):
  drm/print: fixup spelling in a comment
  drm_print.h: rewrap __DRM_DEFINE_DBG_RATELIMITED macro
  drm/print: RFC add choice to use dynamic debug in drm-debug
  drm/print: move conditional deref into macro defn
  i915: map gvt pr_debug categories to bits in parameters/debug_gvt

Note: 3/5, 5/5 have bits that are here for POC, but belong in
dynamic_debug.c.
